Entrepreneurial intentions are fundamental in the entrepreneurial process, yet their transformation into actual behavior isn't guaranteed, as supported by existing evidence. While research concerning the intention-behavior dynamic in entrepreneurship is limited, findings from other fields consistently highlight a robust intention-behavior correlation.

Our study aims to construct a model that dissects how contextual factors, operating at various levels, influence the shift from entrepreneurial intentions to concrete actions. This investigation is underpinned by data collected from surveys conducted among 500 Tunisian university graduates. Within this framework, we examine how immediate influencers (like family and friends) and broader environmental factors (such as the university's entrepreneurial ecosystem and prevailing national norms) impact the career choices of these graduates.

Importantly, our research makes a noteworthy contribution to the burgeoning literature focused on the nexus between intentions and actions in entrepreneurship. As a result of this study, we conclude that contextual factors play a more significant role in mediating the relationship between intention and entrepreneurial behavior.

创业意图是创业过程的基础，但现有证据并不保证创业意图能够转化为实际行为。虽然有关创业意向-行为动态的研究有限，但其他领域的研究结果一致强调意向-行为之间存在强大的相关性。

我们的研究旨在构建一个模型，剖析不同层面上的情境因素如何影响从创业意图到具体行动的转变。这项调查的数据是对 500 名突尼斯大学毕业生进行的调查收集的。在此框架内，我们研究了直接影响者（如家人和朋友）和更广泛的环境因素（如大学的创业生态系统和现行的国家规范）如何影响这些毕业生的职业选择。

重要的是，我们的研究对关注创业意图和行动之间关系的新兴文献做出了值得注意的贡献。根据这项研究，我们得出结论，情境因素在调节意图和创业行为之间的关系中发挥着更重要的作用。
